The Creditors Taking Steps to Seucre
Time for the Assignee.
New York, Aug. l2.-The only new de
velopment in the Ives matter to-day was
the statement that the District Attorney
had taken up his case and would lay the
facts before the grand jury. When Mr..
Ives was asked what his information
was in regard TO this he
referred to his counsel, A. S. Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan did not want to talk on the
matter, however, and after stating that he
knew nothing that Mr. Ives could be in
dicted upon wanted to retract even that
statement II was admitted that Mr. Ives
house, on which he has spent over 100000,
was in his sisters name and not included
among the assets.
A MEETING OF CREDITORS.
There was a meeting of creditors friendly
TO Mr.. Ives at the office of the Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton Company i'm the
afternoon, at which Russell Sage, c. Waite
Coombs, of Boston, Judge Ramsey,
w. G.. Wattels, W. NJ. Fellows,
Morgan and both members of the firm of
Cromwell ~ Sullivan were present. Four
fifths Of the creditors in all were represented
The assignee reported that serions efforts
were being made, with substantial pro
gress, looking to paying off all
the secured indebtedness of Henry
S. Ives & Co., and that n syndicate had
been formed with this view. He also an
nounced that the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton Company was working in the same
connection and aiding in every way by the
use of its own name and credit. After some
discussion. in which Russell Sage opposed
the general views, resolution was
adopted recommending that the creditors
holding securities take no action at present,
but TO give the assignee reasonable time in
which to provide for all claims. After the
meeting was over the assignee stated that
the loans of Mr.. Won Hoffman TO August
Belmont, amounting to $500, 900, has been
taken up by the syndicate, thus preventing
the sale OF the collateral as advertised to-

copies of the resolutions adopted by that
association, repudiating the utterances OF
certain members of the Grand Army OF the
Republic in connection with the proposed
visit of the President to St Louis while the
Grand Army of the Republic encampment
was in progress there, commend
ing the Presidents veto of the dependent
pension bill, and condemning the efforts
of those who seek, by the rebel-hag cpl
sode, to rekindle the flames of sectional
hate and contention as unmanly, un-
patriotic, and meriting the contempt OF
every intelligent man. The resolutions
also compliment Gen. Blacks administra-
ton of the Pension Office. Gen. Rosecrans,
by request, delivered copy of these resolu-
tions to the President, in q neat speech.

occurred. The case being tried was one
charging Colonel ID. r.. Anthony, the
editor of the Times with carrying con-
cealed weapons, and three witnesses had
sworn that the package on the desk in front
of the Colonel was like the one in which
he was accused of carrying around, as the
prosecuting attorney remarked, "a piece of
artillery" Mr.. Baker, prosecuting attor-
ney, asked that the court instruct the Mar
shal to open the parcel, that all present
might see how Colonel Anthony was
violating the law under the very nose
of the honorable Court. Judge Hunter
decided that he had no right 10 give the de-
sired permission. At that point Col. An
thony arose from his seat and, approach
ing his Honor's desk, said: II have re-
fused the right of the Prosecuting Attorney
and his witnesses TO examine this package,
but as you decided that they have not the
right, will give you this package, which
contains what call quaker pistol. And
he exhibited to the excited crowd a piece
of lead pipe, about five inches in length,
with small elbow. The laugh against
Mr.. Baker, who had been expecting TO see

loud, and it was quite time before order

are still adequate agencies for the prosecu-
ton and punishment Of such offenders:
The case was given to the jury at o'clock
p. m, Friday, and when they retired their
first action was to elect A. l.. Brown fore
man by unanimous vote. There was
very little desultory conversation mt first,
ballots being at onco prepared on the ques-
ton of guilt or innocence. The first vote
on this question resulted ii to / for guilt.
One more ballot settled the question of
guilt in the case of each defendant, and the
matter of the penalty to be affixed came up
for consideration. Foreman Brown dis
couraged gen, raj talk on the question and
a test ballot was taken. This resulted 8 to
3 for three years in the penitentiary-the
heaviest punishment that can be imposed
under the statute. The nine jurors
who voted for the extreme penalty
were very firm in their convictions,
and they labored with the other
three earnestly and long. Considerable
feeling was demonstrated. At last tue fore
mau called for another ballot. II resulted
the same as the first, but after some more
general discussion and debate in groups two
of the three who held out for the impositicn n
of q fine upon oil eleven defendants were
won over. The third was taken in hand
and argued with for nearly an hour. This
was j. ID. Clark. He stoutly maintained
that there was not enough testimony of a

ants to the penitentIary. He was as OBJ

no penitentiary. And this was just where

| Finally some of the eleven began to
show signs of weakening. They we're very
much opposed to disagreement, and in
this Juror Clark agreed with them heartily.

line; but they at last submitted, stipulated

maximum fine for the other four. Their

who thought that two years was enough

suppers had not yet come, and the Juror,

DRY AND HOT.
Disastrous Effects or the Long Pro-

IChicnco talerrnm.l

Chicago telegram
The Tribune, in an editorial on the pro-
tracted drouth, says: "Still the rain holds
off, and the drouth is severe. People in
the city, with a full supply of lake water
and lawn sprinkler at the command of
every householder above the poorest grade,
can have little idea of the condition of
things on the many thousands of square
miles which constitute "the country" in
the great Mississippi Valley. All over the
West, with here and there little oasis like
exception, the land is parched dry and the
subsoll moisture has long since been sucked
out OF it by the tcorehing rays of mid
summer sun. No rain of any conseque nee
has fallen since the hot weather set in,
and the situation is all the worse as a
smaller quantity of moisture than usual
fell during the winter, aud very little in
the spring months. The streams have
given out and the wells run dry. HUI
man beings are reported to be unable
10 obtain water unless by hauling il sew
eral miles. and The cattle are moaning
in the fields because it is impossible
to give them a good supply. Corn is wilt
ing under the heat, the leaves firing, and
the incipient cobS shriveling. The grass
was cut over large areas early in June, q
light yield being taken off in the hope that
good second crop should be cut; but
there has been no rain since, and con-
sequently no crop. Cattle are said TO be
turned into the standing corn already,
because that is the only available way
of using it for feed, as the stalks would
soon be TOO dry for that purpose, and
the ears arc believed 10 be gone.

ROGUEs CONVICTED.
An Interesting Account Of the Close
Of the Great Conspiracy Trial
at Chicago.
The Verdict Demonstrates that Bribery
and Corruption Are Punish-
able Offenses.
There Yet Remain Sixty eight Boodler
Indictments on the Cook County
Calendar.
[cHIcAGo TELEGRAM.l

The apparently interminable trial Of the
Cook County Commissioners, charged
with conspiracy TO rob this county, came
10 an end on Friday with verdict which
hardly meets popular expectations. Ley
den, Ochs. Van Pelt, Wasserman, Varnell,
Wren and Mcclauehry are sentenced to
States prison for q term OF two years each,
and Casselman, Cells, Mccarthy and
Oliver are each mulcted in fine Of 81, 900.
So completely convinced have the public
been of the guilt of these conspirators
that probably nothing less than prison
sentence for every man of them would
have been accepted ns satisfying the
public sense of justice and ade-
quately indicating the enormity of their
offense. The vigor and earnestness which
have characterized the prosecution of this
ring and the satisfactory verdict obtained
in the cases of McGarigle and Mcdonald
had led the people of this county to look
for nothing less than the transfer of every
one of them to the Joliet Penitentiary.
The verdict which allows four of them,
who in the public mind we're not less guilty
than the rest. TO escape that fate, does not
give full satisfaction. II is sufficient, how
ever, to show that the law and the courts
